<p>@domrom Yes I didn’t say he was partner at a massive firm. It’s a small firm, there’s only like 7 people that work there. But even then I think he can say he has been relatively successful with his degree. I mean the way you described it made it seem natural for an accountant to eventually be making 150-200k working 40hrs a week. I think we can both agree that that would be a very successful, above average career, certainly not the norm. I see what you’re saying but it’s not really fair to compare an average career as a doctor to an extremely successful career as an accountant. I think it would make a lot more sense to compare an accountant making 150-200k working 40hrs a week to say a radiologist with a successful practice. I don’t even know why I’m arguing this though cause I pretty much agree with what you’re saying. I definitely don’t think medicine is the best and easiest path to a big salary.</p>

<p>See I didn’t really know that. I’m not going to pretend I know a lot about accounting or anything cause I really don’t. Guess I was just in the mood to argue lol. </p>
<p>To answer the OP, yes money is certainly one of the top reasons I’m in engineering. Maybe even more so than the average engineer. I don’t have a passion for math or science and I don’t plan to work as a technical engineer for very long.</p>
